Well, given the general cost of Python function calls and bytecode interpretation, it would probably not be much of a runtime overhead. So it's mainly some additional, not very exciting code to write :-) (luckily, in 3.2 we have a cross-platform gettimeofday() abstraction in pytime.h which will ease things quite a bit) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9090> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
